The implications of this accomplishment are simply awesome! Not only are you emulating an entire computer operating system from 14 years ago, but also an envelope-pushing game from the same time. It may take time, but the age of full access emulation is upon us!
*Maybe* because they have access to the actual sourcecode behind the game and can optimize the hell out of it? Running it in Dosbox is emulating a complete x86 PC, not just a "small" emulation layer under a game that is explicitly prepared for this. Also, emulating CISC CPUs on RISC Hardware gives DosBox a hard time, kudos to the devs for getting it to run this fast!!
Now I need a phone 9 times more powerful than a galaxy s2 and using a version of bochs or dosbox that can utilize multicore to play half-life. Well, I think that will happen sometime before Episode 3.
vengo del futuro y ahora se puede jugar half life y sus extenciones como blue force en mi note 5 a 60 fps en 2.5k sin bajones bajones de fps ni bugs ni trabas, el futuro es ahora oíste viejo.
Are you getting any good speeds on this game through Bochs? I get like 2-4 fps at the max while using Bochs., I have been tweaking with the Bochs.src and changed the CPU ips up and down with only minimal increase in speed :/ do you know a way to increase the speed to a playable level somehow?
how did you maNAGE to get 3d accelaration on bochs? when i open half life or other games it says im missing Direct3d :(? how can i start halflife in bochs?
I have installed SciTech Display doctor that gave me 256 colors, and also directX 8 but i never manage to get Direct3d running when i type "run" and then "Dxdiag" and under display it wont let me enable direct3d but directDraw and AGP texture acceleration is enabled, any toughts on how i can enable direct3d or what graphics drivers to use on Bochs since its on the phone you cant just install Nvida drivers i presume :P?

GastonAsston bochssrc.txt - count: 4 for 4 cores, idps (in milions) for more powerfull :)
*Episode 3* - not created
*Extremely powerful smartphone* - easy to buy 200$ - 250$

The crude ways people used to play half life before Xash
sorry for my bad English,
I have the HTC X and one because it leuft great shape with no bugs or errors with Bochs :)
To save , you press back fbutton
BM: S will be even more slower than this, or it couldn't be ran if this method is used
Я сперва не заметил "9Х" в уголке экрана и даже хотел написать "а что, нормально работает" ^__^ Я правильно понял, что это ускорение воспроизведения?
just use xash 3d and it will work better
